Te Wero 2017 – The Battle for TE TAITOKERAU

That means he’s back on the party list at number two, which means he won’t be out of a job if Mana’s Hone Harawira takes the seat.

But will voters be swayed by the two MPs for one message promoted by Mr Harawira’s supporters and vote strategically, or will they give two ticks to Mr Davis and Labour?

Will they forgive Mr Harawira his disastrous dalliance with Kim Dotcom’s Internet Party and make him the next Northland comeback kid?

Those are the sorts of questions posed in the second Te Wero 2017 debate, to be broadcast on Friday August 11 at 10am.

We’ll also hear from the Green Party’s Godfrey Rudolf, as the candidates field questions on housing, transport, jobs, treaty settlements and tribal politics posed by moderator Julian Wilcox and the audience at west Auckland’s Hoani Waititi Marae.
